PaleoNoel Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Hi everyone, I found this tooth over the summer in the White River formation of Wyoming. When I stumbled upon it, the tooth was already "exploded" into several pieces, so I glued it in place and dug around it, taking it out as a cemented chunk of dirt. At first I thought it was a young Archaeotherium canine, then I wasn't so sure and thought maybe Hyaenodon, I could be wrong and may not be predator at all as I know the rhinos, oreodonts and titanotheres all have canine teeth. A good amount of the crown is preserved along with several pieces of the root, however it is not complete and may be missing some vital pieces which could help us answer the question. the crown is around an inch and a half in length. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyw Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I can pretty much take Oreodonts off your list. None of my skulls fangs have that ridge on them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randyw Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I could be wrong but I think @caterpillar is on the right track. I’ve looked at some pictures of the fangs and while most of the pictures are really dark and hard to make out I think I can see that ridge on them.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean, it's hard to make out in most of the images, but it seems like it's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
